8k to spend on car.
what the hell should i do? what should i be aware of? im really new to the rotory scene and i am aiming to do something a bit nuts with the money so.. go ahead and enlighten me. (turbo/supercharge/nitrous setup) i am really thinking nitrous would be the cleanest thing for me to do

So ur saying u have 8k to dump into car?
If thats the case my list would look something like this.
1.See canzoomer for his stage 2 or even 3 setup he has working for ecu and ignition
2.Exhuast with free flow cat
3.Once those are done after about 5000 miles throw on a small shot of spray and save the other 4k for FI setup prolly hitting by spring.
4If u have any left some suspension work maybe but im happy with the stock
My 2 cents

The very best investment to make your current car faster, as well as every car you ever drive from there on? A good driving school - Skip Barber, Bob Bondurant, etc. They make you faster and safer too.

that is true, mike b. i think most people would rather not think about that fact that after buying just some plastic ground effects and some different wheels you can be $8,000 dollars poorer then you were before those parts.
this has also made me realize most aftermarket parts for the rx-8 are currently too expensive to even think about.

ehh i dont wanna get the mazdaspeed kit cause well i ended up getting all that random crap the car gets... and i will cry if i lost my rotary accents!! and i already have 19" volks... i think ill order a super charger and hopefully magically make it fit

You can go to you local tuning shop and ask them to make you supercharger or turbo for RX8. I think they could make custom SC or TC for like $5000-$6000. For about $500 I would get custom made demon eyes for RX8 (At night, RX8 would look like a wild cat. GRRRRRR tiger.), and for rest of $1500, probably save it for insurance, gas, etc.

(3) Hookers - one for each seat.
(150) Gallons of gas

Money gone and my RX-8 is still under warranty.

I'd go with just two hookers, the gas and forget the map.
After I woke up from the drunken haze I'd still have $4k in the bank and the warrantee. :p
Better Scotch-Guard the seats, though...

Driving school, 17" 'beater' rims with Kumho or Hoosier race tires, brake pads, helmet, and as many track days that's left over with your money.
